Very interesting; I use your Screen Clipping tool every day (including the auto-post to Imgur). It seems Tesseract.exe doesn't work on Windows 32 bits, but I'll try again as soon as I switch to Windows 10 64!

Bummer about it not working on 32 bit version. There is probably a 32 bit version of Tesseract but I don't have the time to investigate.

Oh, I see, that's too bad. I use the Imgur function every day! Thanks for the script anyway, I learned about it originally from one of your videos. Don't worry about a 32 version: I could investigate myself, or just wait until I switch from XP to Windows 10 64 bits, which will be soonish. I'll post my version below (without OCR, obviously), which also works on Windows XP, unlike your version, if I recall correctly (I had to search for and add a function somewhere to get it to work with XP).

P.S. The script has always crashed for me from time to time, but it's quick to restart, so it's not really a problem. Could be an XP thing as well.

I don't believe you can without an account. But it's easy to create an account. I'll post my version of the script below, which doesn't have OCR yet, but it does have auto-upload to Imgur, and it works on Windows XP. I've also changed the hotkeys a little bit, which you can change as you like somewhere early in the script. Instructions on how the Imgur part should be set up can be found inside the script as well.

Thank You Cerberus You use the same hotkeys I use. this is the best way to use it and I also don't use email either so it's at 0

imgur works

btw I will stop using ShareX because it keeps activating after clip :=1 is set on any hotkey. It also seems to stop OCR from working. having imgur on this script saves me a lot of time.

If you have time can you take a look at this awesome script. https://github.com/mmikeww/DragToScroll I have trouble closing Windows created by this script with RButton since RButton is used in that script to scroll. It is awesome. hope u can take a look.

I'm glad you have a good taste in hotkeys too!

I don't know what ShareX is.

You could use a different button to close the window, if the right button (Rbutton) doesn't work properly. Which button would you like to use? You can change line 59 to use a different close button:
